AT&T Source Code Provision Install

This is an extremely brief overfiew of how to install the AT&T UNIX System V Release 3.2 Source Code Provision. For fuller details, please see the official documentation (pubcode 305-659)

In summary, the Source Code Provision included the full source code to the UNIX system. It installs under /usr/src, and allows you to rebuild the entire system from scratch, or modify and rebuild any single component, utility, or driver.

Source Tapes

The Source Code Provision was distributed on 23 MB cartridge tapes meant for the 3B2/310 with an XM tape drive and 3B2/400 with a built-in tape drive.

To get started, download and uncompress each of the following tapes:
